Titi

 

    History:

Traditionally eaten on Saint Stephan day. Canelloni where filled with the meat that rested from Christmas meal. Nowadays it's a whole-year meal, basically eaten on cold season, with many versions: spinach, cod-fish, etc...

Canelloni are little squared pieces of pasta rolled with meat inside it. Betxamel sauce cover them with some minced cheese.

Canelloni were introduced in catalan cooking by italian cookers during XVIIIth century.

One of the oral traditions explain that canelloni and giant "galets" (see our escudella video) were eaten as a symbol of victory against a giant who was destroying sheep farms. In this meal that giant was eaten in pieces.

Albert Einstein (pdf in catalan) visited Barcelona on 1923 invited by the Catalan Studies Institute. One of the meals he had here was, of course, canelloni. To be exact, "canelloni a la Fizeau" in honour of that famous physicist.
